A 150-Kg Block of Ice at 0

Short Answer

A 15.0-kg block of ice at 0.00°C falls into Lake Superior,which is a fresh water lake.The lake water is at 10.0°C,and the latent heat of fusion for ice is 3.34 × 10⁵ J/kg.Find the change in entropy due to the melting of the ice (a)of the block of ice,(b)of the lake,and (c)of the system consisting of the lake and the ice.(d)Is your answer to part (c)consistent with the reversibility or irreversibility of the melting process?
